Oak

"Oak" 

The guardians
stood around and 
shook their heads

great thoughts 
quivering 
from the ground, roots up, 

as if to walk 
confidently 
with great armies

yet hesitation 
was witnessed
in their waving gestures

perplexed 
and touching 
green crowns, 

there they...

The ambushed night when all was still,
Amidst the gloom, anxiety took my will.

So fortunate but how long can this last
I’ve romanced, loved and married
Living a life ever so harried

Raising a family, I’ve worked hard
A successful career achieved without fear
I’ve traveled...

To boil with all the energy of Hell

for once expended nothing can foretell

Clairvoyant Calm

The smells of hospitals in 
December 
can almost taste the anesthesia 
faint remnants of uncertainty 
  
expecting outcomes so trivial 
from the outside in 
passing sleepless strangers in the corridors 
thinking to oneself,

Kids' Table

Laying my head back, eyes closing,
reminiscing, the years falling away into decades ago
to the 1950s at my grandparents' grand home
for Christmas.

It was a gracious dining room.
Noontime sun streaming in.
Chair rail with deep red wallpaper, white...

Insomnia

1am: The clock strikes like bolts of lightning as my brain rapidly

fires neurons creating a torturous play field in my tired mind.

Psy-Chic

I was walking no particular direction
One ordinary day
On my regular path
Mulling over my sticks and stones

Withholding

5/16/22



Here let me paint you a drawing
My skin crawling
Something stirring and calling
As the leaves begin falling
It's appalling
That people are always squabbling
And gossiping
Yet another mauling
It's no longer enthralling
The temperature of the water freezing or scalding
People aging,...

for that is consigned to
the dreams of rocks.

To think of nothing,

an idea about nothing,
and an idea is not nothing.
